Your wife may not be happy, but the bento look wonderful to me. I grew up in a family where my lunch was always a cream cheese bagel and a box of orange juice, until I was just given some money to buy from the cafeteria instead. Having a full meal in a bento box is incredible compared to the standards of many countries all over the world!

Joanna: Thanks for your comment. I'm not sure if my wife is happy or not, but probably she doesn't feel bad about my posting photos of her bento in my blog no matter how commonplace (or dull) they may be, as long as they are good enough for my son.

Hiroyuki, please thank your wife! I have my eyes wide open every time I see her bento and you describe it. I like the chicken and negi without skewers idea. The rice topping looks very interesting too. You have reminded me my tamagoyaki pan (I brought from Japan) is still in its package... I have no courage to try making the Japanese omelet. A very flavoursome looking bento!

Sissi: I guess you will have to make at least three attempts to use the tamagoyaki pan until you feel comfortable using it. That being said, I don't use my rectangular tamagoyaki pan because I feel comfortable using a regular, round frying pan to make atsuyaki tamago.

As for the "magic furikake" as a rice topping, I thought it was too much. When my son came home, I asked him about it, and he said, "It was good!"
